I think was supposed to but stamp got misaligned..I can see a bit of 2 digits at an angle that runs off the edge..lol..but makes sense..I imagine it being the 1st year or 2 they started packing them because a buddy has one with a stamp..and has a 4 in front..so must have been one of the first years..

Hey Drew, I think yours there is 2005. Any MCW's I've had in the past with that pouch design were 05's. Cavguy is right - between 04' - 06' - and Housil has a good point, you can press up against the pouch and see the contents inside and you just may be lucky enough to see a lot code.

Maybe the US. Govmint should just start issuing x-ray glasses, like from the old comic book ads. That way, we can see thru the packaging. I still have mine from 1973, but I cannot see under the girls clothing, like the ad said. Damn things don't work. I figured it was a scam, to extract 1.95 from 10 year olds. LOL
